what is everyone's favorite fast food salad? So far, I think that the zaxby grilled chicken salad is the best. With no straws or toast it is only 350 calories and 7 carbs!

    I like making my own at Moe's (no shell, rice, or beans) and at Subway. I will also get a chargrilled chicken sandwich combo from chickfila, toss the bun, and put the chicken on a side salad (instead of fries). I am a salad junkie ;)

    I love the Quizno's Honey Mustard Chicken Flatbread salad. It's super yummy!

    Chic-Fil-A's grilled chicken garden salad with berry balsamic reduced calorie dressing. Leave off the croutons (emply calories), but add the sunflower seeds. Very yummy!

    I've worked at too many fast food places to ever eat salads from them lol. My husband loves the southwest salad at Jack in the Box with grilled chicken.

    Chick-fil-a Chargrilled Garden Salad with Sunflower seeds, no croutons. I use my own olive oil and spices for the dressing.

    I pretty much live off fast food salads. My new favorite is the Mediterranean from Quiznos. Chicken, olive, cheese, garbanzo beans, cucumbers and tomatoes for 180 calories.

    I like the grilled chicken at Burger King but they changed the actual salad part up one too many times and now I have to pick out the red cabbage so I don't go there anymore. I also get a very simple spicy chicken cesar salad at Wendy's but change the spicy chicken to a grilled chicken and that's less than 200 calories.

    I also bring my own dressing to save on sodium and calories.

    Then there's the subway roasted chicken salad and I use the sweet onion sauce as the dressing.

    And OMG! I just saw I'm getting a Chick Fil A that's not 20 miles away from me in November! I haven't been this excited since they put a Trader Joe's two doors down from my office building. :smile:

    I like Chick fil A's grilled chicken salad and Hooters grilled chicken salad :). What I really like though is that McDonald's has the side salad on the $1 menu. With the Balsamic or Italian dressing it's only about 100 cal, perfect for a snack that feels more like a small meal.
